[QUOTE="Firefab, post: 746045, member: 71706"] Hi everyone, I need your precious help. Before explaining my situation I need to say that I am new to Mac and I have zero Linux knowledge, so please be patience with me. I need to use an external hard disk to copy large files on my mac to transfer it to my media center. As far as I could find out googling, I need to format this HD t ext3. NTFS doesn't work on Mac, FAT has size file limitation and my media center doesn't support HFS+, but it does support ext3. I still couldn't find out how to format an external hard disk to the ext3 format using my Mac. Is there an application that does this easily? If there is no application and the only way is using command lines I will need a full beginner's help... Thanks! Fabio [/QUOTE]
